So …. I bought a pack of TRIGGER Cards which are questions to encourage me to write more often and having drawn a card from the pack here goes my first attempt “Write about a special event in your life is the card I drew” ……. I had many ideas flashing around in my mind, but this one stuck out the most, so here goes …………
When I attended HLC2 with Paul Chek in Sydney, i discovered an inner part of me that I wasn’t aware existed up till that point, it was the day I realized that GOD is within me, it isn’t something that I can worship and appeal to and try to do the better for. It is me. It is you. It is your Neighbor, Your Spouse, Your Daughter, Your Son, your Child. The trees, the plants, the animals, Simply……. God is in all of us. We are all a part of the tapestry of life, once we find this goodness and live our lives with our own intention, of loving and trying to improve our point of view, of always learning and listening to the voice inside, never judging or complaining about life, or situations, then the world would be a better place. To be at peace with all that you have. You see then we would be so intent on living our lives to our Souls Desire, that we would have no time to look at others and worry about how they live their life. We wouldn’t have time to worry about the small unnecessary things that bother us. Life is loving, Life is doing, Life is living and Life is for enjoying every moment of the day, with no doubt of fear or worry. You see All the worry you have will disappear the moment you take your last breath, so why worry at all? Why wait till then? Worry will only cause fear, and rejection, and all the ugly feelings that we all so don’t enjoy, so why have them? Worry will steal away from you moments of love and moments of feeling at ease. Worry will steal away beautiful friendships and amazing moments with those you love.
Easier said than done, I know this to be true. As much as I try, and I try a LOT, it is difficult not to slip back into doubt and fear and feelings of rejection and emptyness………….If I was speaking to a younger me. To a me that at 16 was so very worried about how I fit into the world, then I would say, love yourself more. See the beauty in your skin and in your eyes and in your heart. I think as an adult if you took a photo out of your cupboard and saw yourself as a child, and kept that photo handy, that each time you felt worried or lonely or left out, or if you made a mistake, god forbid, then think how you would talk to that child in the photo. It would be so different to the “talk” that goes on in your head at these times. It was like a beacon shining brightly, when I discovered in one of my NLP courses that most people have this negative self talk in their minds all the time. Most of the day. I thought it was only me. This negative self talk can do so much damage on a cellular level, (think Bruce Lipton) we really have to be so very careful of the thoughts and words we utter about ourselves. Mostly, because our body can only hear this to be true. It doesn’t know that you are having a “moment” and that you don’t really mean the things you are thinking. Your body will respond just as it hears and feels. I challenge you to try and think more positively about who you are and the job that you are doing with your family, and with yourself. Life is ment to be good and full of happy exciting things. Of being grateful for the very trees that grow outside your window, and the beauty in the sky. We have so very much to be thankful for.
